ninelives Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yeah my favorite version is from Scared Fire DVD, and also the Moonflower one is perfect. Know any better ones? Not offhand other than having witnessed it in person many times - I like the Moonflower one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 For anyone who's into GROOVE, check out Tower Of Power : "Knock Yourself Out" from the album Live And In Living Colour. Recorded live in Sacramento 1976. Lenny Pickett and Chester Thompson are amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabbathWhoPurpleZeppelin Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 My Generation from Live at Leeds and other countless Who bootlegs from 68-70 are my favourite, so much power and awesome riffage. No Quarter (LZ), Space Truckin' (Deep Purple) Spoonful (Cream) and The Warning (Black Sabbath) are awesome too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Have you checked out any DMB? They are awesome live, and they allow audience taping so there's lots out there. Here's a DMB live radio channel: Live DMB Radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) I'm looking for some suggestions on amazing, long, jam songs from other bands... Dude, you gotta get Humble Pie's "Rockin' the Fillmore"! It is MANDATORY...it should be in every rock fan's collection! Any Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead shows will feature lots of jamming; but try to stick to 60's-early 70's stuff. After Duane Allman and Pigpen died, it wasn't the same for either band. "Reba" by Phish is one of my favourite jams by them, often going into unexpected waters and leading into other songs. One of my personal favourite "Reba" is from the October 29, 1998 show at the Greek Theatre in L.A. Try to find it at your usual trading sites. "You Enjoy Myself", "David Bowie", "Moma Dance" are other cool jams by Phish. I would also suggest you check out the Soft Machine, particularly the first four albums: 1. The Soft Machine 1968 2. Volume Two 1969 3. Third 1970 4. Fourth 1971 More in the psychedelic-prog-jazz vein(think Miles Davis Bitches Brew-era) than your usual rock band, the Robert Wyatt(drums, vocals) years are the best; after he left in 1971 things weren't the same. There have been some cool reissues of 1970-71 period live shows recently...check 'em out. Edited March 23, 2009 by Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great suggestions thanks, just randomly found one song from Rockin the Fillmore and its amazing, geting the whole album now. As far as Grateful Dead wouldnt most consider them to be the best at jamming in the later 70's or even 80's? And im getting those Soft Machine albums.

No - IMO I'd say the best Dead jams were prior to that, not to say they weren't great in the 80s and 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 The best Dark Star I saw the Grateful Dead do was my first one, Sept. 10, 1972 at the Hollywood Palladium...30 to 40 minutes of bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Don't Change Horses in the Middle of the Stream is also a good one from Tower of Power. Yes it is ! As is Squib Cakes from the same album " Back To Oakland ". SC live is another great extended jam but there is no official live release of that song. Unofficial...that's another matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzyEric Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Try this (13 min with a long jam at the end): Dave Matthews Crush Live Thanks that was nice, this is my bros fav. band and I was surprised to find out they are a Jam band and considered on of the best at that. I like violin and brass but I would have prefered some guitar in the end jam. If you like violin with rock check out Widespead Panic - 07-04-08 Rothbury (bootleg) with ann marie calhoun on violin/fiddle. If you dont know her look her up but i suspect as a DMB fan you should know her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzyEric Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Best version of all was Jimmy's back in 1968 at the Anderson Theatre. I'll take As Long as I Have You 04-27-69 which includes part of this song, though it sounds rather different. And I think As Long as I have You is the best zeppelin jam from the early days next to How Many More Times and Dazed of course.
